The RO Defence 120 mm tank gun ammunition is all RO Defence 120 mm tank gun ammunition is manually separate loaded, although the bundled stick propellant charges may be loaded in either calico bags or as rigid thin-walled CCC; at one time bagged charges were used for all types of projectile. All charges are ignited electrically via vent tubes fed from a vent tube loader. The vent tubes may be the L3 for the L11 gun or L4 for the L30 gun. The main types of projectile involved are as follows: APFSDS L23 This is the

main projectile used for the attack of armour and involves a monobloc tungsten nickel copper long rod penetrator carried in a light alloy sabot. The penetrator rod uses six aluminium fins. The projectile assembly is fired using an L8 CCC containing 6.65 kg of AX/S64-20 triple-base propellant in stick form. It can also be fired using a modified L14 CCC. Muzzle velocity is 1,534 m/s and the maximum effective range is given as 3,500 m. APFSDS L26 Originally the XL26E1, this projectile is intended for use in the 55 calibre L30 gun currently used on the Challenger 2 MBT and, at one time, intended to be retrofitted to the Challenger 1. The original CHARM 1 system version of this projectile used a Depleted Uranium (DU) penetrator rod. Muzzle velocity is 1,370 m/s. 120 mm APDS L15 is not fired from the L30 gun. DS/T Prac L20A1 This is a relatively low-cost training projectile with the subprojectile penetrator made from steel with a light alloy nose. The DS/T Prac L20A1 subprojectile matches the trajectory of the APDS L15 out to 1,100 m, after which it requires a much smaller safety trace than the operational L15 subprojectile (the L20A1 also extends barrel life). The L20A1 can also be used as a training equivalent to the APFSDS L23 out to a range of 2,000 m. The DS/T Prac L20A1 is fired using the L5 CCC which contains 5.16 kg of NQ/S27-09 propellant. Muzzle velocity is 1,451 m/s. British Army consumption of the DS/T L20A1 was forecast to run at about 60,000 units per year until 1998.
